Answer» I'm confused! This is a look of my System Information on my COMPUTER. PartitionDisk #0, Partition #1 That is why. If you are running vista you can use disk management to extend the 13GB drive to use the full size of your disk.Thank you, I knew when I researched the model number of the HDD and it was saying it was an 80 GB HDD. Now my question to you is how do I partition it as an 80 GB HDD?Go Into Disk Manager to change the partitioning. Use a search in help to find disk Mgr if you need to....Since your using XP, repartitioning the drive will require you to format and reinstall windows, at least without a partition such as partition magic. however, one option is you can create a New disk drive, which will be referenced using a different drive letter. This can be useful for storing your data and/or downloads. One WAY of accessing disk management is Start->Run and type diskmgmt.msc in the run dialog. Disk management should start. I predict one of your disks will be shown with "unallocated" space in the lower pane view. To partition this space, right-click on it and select "create new partition". Follow the prompts for creating a new partition/basic disk, it will ask for a drive letter, and format the drive. Formatting will take some time. Depending on the speed of your computer you might still be able to perform other tasks.
